A month ago I highlighted in an article the tragic case of kids and indeed adults not being able to swim leading to a family tragedy at a BBQ. This has been discussed in an article on the BBC News Website.

Make the time to teach yourself and your kids the essential things in life, being able to swim is one of these. Do not rely on them getting one lesson a week every other term from school this is not sufficient to equip them.

Likewise you cannot rely on the education system to teach your kids the essential things in life other than the basics, so if you want them to have the best chance in life you either need to learn it yourself and teach them, or outsource it to someone that can. For me things such as people skills, financial awareness and planning are key things I learnt later in life that would have benefited me from a younger age.
